Event Info

We had an incredibly inspiring Anniversary Celebration. We heard jazz, world, and classical music, and experienced live theater and visual art/design in the span of just a few hours.

We thank the amazing artists who participated and shared their work and talents. We were especially proud to honor Lior Raz and Fauda, as the show has become home for many former AICF grantees.

Funds raised from this year’s Celebration will provide for career mentoring and individual grants for young artists in the periphery, through-out Jerusalem and every major city in Israel.

Director Rotem Shamir (Season 2), whose own hit show Hostages is also part of the rise of Israeli Television and Cinema, was joined by filmmaker Scott Berrie in conversation about the “secret” behind the success of Fauda, the work on an Arab-Jewish set, and many other exciting topics presented uniquely to our audience.
